A quick post-blackout observation

Just a post-Sandy blackout observation... BoweryBoogie noted this too the other day: an uptick in graffiti that occurred during the blackout ... a few examples...




BoweryBoogie heard (unconfirmed) that the NYPD arrested four graffiti artists for tagging walls during the blackout.

  2. Grieve, it's really an insult to actual artists everywhere to call these perps artists. This is the work of vandals, petty criminals. Whatevs.

  3. i think i hate the hipster "write an obscure phrase or compound word" graffiti more so than the illegible throw-up tags. at least the latter are rooted in nyc culture and history.
